I put this on the "other forum" just want a tool to put the KF community together.

I started a Google map that shows our home bases. You can log into Google Maps with your personal Google/Gmail acount and add your location placemark if you want to.



If you don't have a Google account you'll need one or you won't be able to edit and add your placemark or you can use this one



email: "kitfoxmap(at)gmail.com"

pass: flyingfun



Go to the Kitfox Map



1) Navigate the map to your location. Zoom in fairly tight. 

2) Click the EDIT button that appears just below the map title in the left hand column

3) Set your place mark by first clicking the blue Placemark tool from the toolbar on the map. Click once on your location to add your pin. A little info box will pop up. Add your screenname to the title and any additional information you feel comfortable sharing to the description box. 

4) Click SAVE

In all due respects and please help me understand what I am seeing here. 

You want to know where I live, but you don't care to let us know who you 

are.



Interesting world we are living in these days.

I don't know how much respect I'm due but I'll take all I can get.



I'm sorry and mean no offense to no one.  My name is Nick Weiskopf 

I'm 33 live in north eastern Maryland I've owned a kitfox for a little more than a year now.  I did this as a service to the Kitfox community to those who want to participate.  As I stated in the post please feel free to locate your home base not your house unless you want to.  Only add comments that you a comfortable with, this is the Internet.  I thought this would be a good tool for people on cross country to connect with other Kitfoxer's.  If you are not comfortable please by all means don't participate.

Wow What a great idea. I hope all of you sign up like I did then when there is a  flyin (Flyins dot com) all of us in that area can hope to attend and make a mass showing of our Kitfox's.  I really like to fly mine traveling to all the little airports in the area.

This is a great map looks like it's been around awhile with alot of members.  I hate duplicity and wish I would of found it before starting the Google one.  I would have just promoted the Frapper one instead.

Now if I can only figure out a way to download the Kitfox map to my Google

Earth app that would really make me happy.  I guess i can do it with a paper

and pencil... Nah that's starting to sound like work!

You can.  When in the Kitfox Map, just above the white buttons that are on the map, there is a blue link that says, view in Google Earth.  Click on that link and you will save the map as a file on your computer.  Open Google Earth go to file, then to open, and type in the file you just saved.  I hope this helps.
